On site

[vaneramos]

After returning to Guelph last night, we're back in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The manse where we are staying was used in filming The Dead Zone. A gazebo David Cronenberg built for the film is visible from the back porch. Now I have to see the movie.

The vicar's leonine charisma is matched by his chiseled face and luxurious mane of salt-and-pepper hair. His wife is outrageous and, as we discovered tonight, also an excellent cook. She served roast chicken and roasted beet salad with walnuts and goat cheese, and had looked up a recipe for gluten-free brownies especially for me. They also stocked Strongbow Cider.

I had forgotten how quickly time passes when we're working on site.

On my friends page, this post is just above the latest one from zeut123, which is a food blog written by the only girlfriend I ever had. Go give it a look; she's just posted a recipe for gluten-free sesame crackers.

I'll keep an eye on her blog. The cracker recipes seriously appeals, as does the one for sauteed radishes a few days ago. Thanks!

The salad? Or Niagara-on-the-Lake in general? The salad was delicious. The town is incredibly quaint if you're there when it isn't mobbed by tourists. It was still quiet the beginning of the week, but by this afternoon the fine weather was bringing on the mobs.

Aha! There's a pleasant, open vibe from the fellow, and his wife is a scream, also very enjoyable company.
